So when I came across Pro Blogger as I’m going through my RCC feeds in Google Reader and came across their 31 days to build a better blog. This task at hand actually makes me excited and gives me something to look forward to. The contest begins on April Fools day (April 1st for those across seas that don’t keep up with American tradition.

I’m totally tagging my best friend on this one. Cammy-bear, you up for the challenge?

There are a few things I need t pick up at Lacy’s Pharmacy. Due to past experience this oxygen being administered via nose cannula does two great things. It makes sure the body gets the oxygen it needs, and it also dries out your nose to the point of daily nose bleeds. Vaseline only goes so far. Back in 2004 I remember that my nostrils were lined in bloody scabs. I don’t want that to happen again, so I’m going to get a mask and alternate.

How am I feeling? Well, I wrote a big long email to work about the situation and everything that was going on and I heard nothing back, which only means one thing. They are planning my hopefully “temporary” replacement. I have heard back from my boss and his boss however saying to take as much time as I need to get better. That was nice. I just don’t do good sitting idle so I’m going to learn something over this next week and it’s going to be amazing. I just don’t know what it’s going to be yet. Maybe I will drive into ruby and learn rails and gems.

I’m pretty certain I can make something really neat and cool with that to come back and WOW everyone with. I’ll try at least. I usually only WOW myself. WOW.

I’m digging out my ruby books now … and spending the rest of the night in programmers heaven (best time is when everyone’s asleep, like now)

Health complications, as usual.

I’m bombarded with make up assignments in school after missing the last few assignments in my Java class and with my nose to the grind I’m trying to get those completed both tonight and tomorrow before I have another class that begins. Ugh. I’m also on call for work somewhere this week. I also haven’t made an appointment for my treatment day. Ugh. So much to do, so little resources.

Now to get started hoping that there isn’t an emergency at work …

Well, I did. I’ve been doing a lot of that lately. Maybe because my brain is dying. I was riding the rail the other night with ruby and after realizing that I had installed my gems incorrectly I reinstalled. Then I got an idea for a Java program I was working on so I jump over to Netbeans 6.1 and I realize that I had a gem I wanted to install there too, so completely distracted (doesn’t take much) I start installing some gems and plug-ins and … oh noes.

CRASH!

There goes Netbeans 6.1 … I try to open it again and I get this:

Picture 1

Just great. After many searches through the Googlespere I find out there is some apache file that calls Xalan.jar and makes it a very unhappy jar file breaking some class that Netbeans 6.1 calls. So I had another Bright Idea™ (I really should be careful about those big idea’s). I’d just delete Netbeans 6.1 and re-install. Nope, didn’t work. I thought I would re-install apache2 with macports. I got this error:

Terminal — sh — 125×30

Great, so the all mighty macports won’t even install apache2 again. I went to xMod and let it check and fix my files and permissions. Ya, didn’t work. So, I had to do the long road. Reinstall completely with my last Time Machine backup. But, then I had another Bright Idea™ .. I re-named my /usr/local folder and try to re-install apache2. With success I got:

Terminal — bash — 125×30

Yet, it didn’t fix my Netbeans 6.1 problem. Sigh. Let me go try out another Bright Idea™ …
